Kulgam para-cricketer Shakoor Bashir earns Delhi IPCL contract
Neighbours and relatives have been streaming into the home of para-cricketer Shakoor Bashir in Gadihama village of Kulgam district, celebrating his selection for the Indian Para Cricket League (IPCL) 2026. Shakoor was picked by the Delhi franchise for Rs 2.75 lakh at the IPCL auction held on August 5, marking a significant milestone in the career of the young cricketer, who has represented Jammu and Kashmir in several national-level tournaments. I feel on cloud nine after learning about my selection. It is a proud moment for me and my family, Shakoor said. For Shakoor, the selection is the latest chapter in a journey that began despite a physical disability in his foot that he was born with. He has undergone multiple surgeries over the years, but the challenges did not keep him away from the cricket field. I have been playing in national tournaments since 2022, he said. A student of the Islamic University of Science and Technology, Shakoor is pursuing a bachelors degree in Anaesthesia and Operation Theatre Technology. Alongside his studies, he has travelled to several states to participate in national para-cricket tournaments. His recent performances have further strengthened his credentials. In a tournament in Bihar, where he represented Jammu and Kashmir against Uttar Pradesh, Shakoor took a hat-trick and scored 38 runs off just 18 balls, showcasing his ability with both bat and ball. The IPCL selection has brought a wave of excitement to Gadihama, where residents have followed his cricketing journey closely. Family members and neighbours said Shakoors achievement was particularly inspiring because he continued to pursue the sport despite undergoing multiple surgeries and facing physical challenges from an early age. For Shakoor, however, the auction is not the destination but another step towards a larger goal. I want to make the most of this opportunity and prove myself in the league. My aim is to represent the country at the highest level, he said. His selection has also brought renewed attention to para-cricket in Jammu and Kashmir, where players with disabilities are increasingly finding opportunities to compete at the national level. As celebrations continue at his home, Shakoor is already looking ahead to the next challenge, making his mark for Delhi in the IPCL.

Srinagars Sher-i-Kashmir Stadium likely to host Irani Cup 2026: Report
Srinagar, Aug 12: Srinagars Sher-i-Kashmir Stadium is likely to host the Irani Cup 2026 match between 2025-26 Ranji Trophy winners Jammu and Kashmir and the Rest of India from October 1 to 5. A media report quoted by News18 said the Sher-i-Kashmir Stadium in Srinagar will host the Irani Cup, making it the biggest cricket match to be held in Kashmir since the ODI between India and Australia on September 9, 1986. The report stated that the Irani Cup is played between the winners of the previous edition of the Ranji Trophy and the Rest of India side. Since Jammu and Kashmir won the 2025-26 Ranji Trophy, they will take on the Rest of India in the upcoming 2026 edition. In the 2025-26 Ranji Trophy final, J&K faced Karnataka at the KSCA Hubli Cricket Ground in Hubli and secured victory by virtue of their first-innings lead. For J&K, Auqib Nabi Dar will once again be a key player in the Irani Cup. The 29-year-old fast bowler from Baramulla picked up 60 wickets in the 2025-26 Ranji Trophy to finish as the leading wicket-taker. He also registered impressive figures of 5/54 in 23 overs in the first innings of the final against Karnataka. Apart from Auqib, who is currently part of Indias Test squad for the two-match series against Sri Lanka, Yudhvir Singh Charak will be another key fast bowler for J&K. Charak, who represents Rajasthan Royals in the IPL, has also impressed with his wicket-taking abilities. However, the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) is yet to officially confirm the venue for the Irani Cup 2026 as well as announce the Rest of India squad. The Rest of India have won a total of 30 Irani Cup titles so far, followed by Mumbai with 15 titles. After taking part in the Irani Cup, J&K will begin their Ranji Trophy title defence on October 11 against Madhya Pradesh. The defending champions are part of Elite Group A in the 2026-27 Ranji Trophy, along with Madhya Pradesh, Vidarbha, Baroda, Puducherry, Bihar, Uttar Pradesh and Goa.
Emraan Hashmi began his career with Footpath (2003), in which he stole the thunder, despite being in a supporting role. His next film, the erotic musical thriller Murder (2004), was a huge hit and made him a household name. He then starred in several memorable films and his track record got a boost when Murder 2 (2011) opened at Rs. 7.10 crores. The Dirty Picture (2011) had an opening of Rs. 9.54 crores while Raaz 3 (2012)s first day collections were a huge Rs. 10.47 crores. From here, his track record got affected, though in between, he was seen in the multi-starrer Baadshaho (2017). It opened at Rs. 12.60 crores and is his biggest opener to date. Trade experts feel that his upcoming film, Awarapan 2, has the potential to beat Baadshahos day 1 figure. Trade veteran Taran Adarsh said, Its good to see Emraan back in action. At one point in time, he was riding a very successful wave. Then, suddenly, there was a dip. But now, its good to see the return of those days when his films used to get a strong initial. Its happening again with Awarapan 2. When asked if Awarapan 2 can emerge as his highest opener, he replied, Yes, theres a possibility and that too despite solid competition from Batwara 1947, a film featuring big names like Sunny Deol, Aamir Khan and Rajkumar Santoshi. Its a feat. Vishek Chauhan, owner of Roopbani Cinema in Purnia, Bihar, explained, Theres tremendous demand for Awarapan 2 among the youth. The youngsters have heard about the legend of Emraan Hashmi, but they havent experienced him in that avatar on the big screen. They are eager to see him in a mass-appealing role, and Awarapan 2 is the apt film for that. Distributor and exhibitor Raj Bansal opined, I find him to be a very decent actor. But he went and picked some wrong films. There are two actors for whom I feel very bad Emraan Hashmi and Shahid Kapoor. Both are highly talented, but due to some bad choices, their track record suffered. He added, A good script and good music will always help a film become a super-hit. Saiyaara is a great example of that. This year, Main Vaapas Aaunga also benefited from the same factors. Though it initially had a very slow start, it later picked up and how. Sadly, our filmmakers often give less importance to both a good script and good music. Atul Mohan stated, If audiences like an actor in a certain image, it is important for that actor to do films in that space. Emraan reached a different level, thanks to the kind of films he did. But then he started doing arty films. He had a set audience, and that fan base exists even today. The fact that it still exists shows that people continue to love him and have expectations from him. So, hes doing the right thing by working in a film like Awarapan 2.

The News Mill
Two days are left for the release of Awarapan 2 and Batwara 1947. We spoke to trade experts to gauge the advance booking trends and understand what kind of opening the two films can expect at the box office. Trade veteran Taran Adarsh said, Looking at the advance trend, Awarapan 2 definitely has an edge. Its ticket sales have been very good. The first part didnt work even though it was a brilliant film. It was among Emraans best efforts. I remember talking to the Bhatts after the release of Awarapan. They were totally shaken and were wondering, Yeh hua kya? He added, However, over time, the film cultivated a good fan base amongst viewers of all ages. But at the time of its release, it didnt get the attention it deserved. It clashed with Aap Kaa Surroor, which was a wave at that time. Himesh Reshammiya was at his peak then. Meanwhile, Apne featured the three Deols together. Hence, Awarapan got completely sidelined. Thankfully, we are now seeing its true potential, with people buying tickets in hordes. Theres a huge difference between the bookings of Awarapan 2 and Batwara 1947 at present. Vishek Chauhan, owner of Roopbani Cinema in Purnia, Bihar, explained, Awarapan 2 has an edge and has sold more tickets than Batwara 1947. The main actors in Batwara 1947 are playing characters that are contrary to their established image. Sunny Deol has a hardcore nationalist image. This image was further bolstered by his revival film, Gadar 2 (2023), in which he plays a true patriot who goes to Pakistan to save his son. However, in Batwara 1947, he plays a Muslim who migrates to Pakistan. He has to leave India because it is no longer fit for him to live there due to his religion. Itll be difficult for audiences to imagine him playing such a character because they associate him with a certain image, thanks to films like Gadar (2001), Indian (2001), Maa Tujhe Salaam (2002), etc. He also remarked, Shabana Azmi ji is a great actress, no doubt. However, we need to understand that actors also have an off-screen image. And we are all aware of what her off-screen image and political views are. Hence, it wont be easy for audiences to digest her in such a role. In commercial cinema, it is very important that your on-screen and off-screen images are in sync. Had Jaya Bachchan been cast in the same role, it would have made a lot of difference. He added, Batwara 1947 will be a great film. Theres no doubt about it. But commercially, its standing is on very weak ground. This is a chief reason why the advances have been slow. Trade analyst Atul Mohan said, The advance of both films is not as much as one would expect from an Independence Day release. Nevertheless, if the films get good word of mouth, theyll work at the box office. As per advance trends, Awarapan 2 is clearly leading Batwara 1947 in many centres. Like Vishek Chauhan, he also said, Sunny is playing a Muslim character. Now, how he has been presented remains to be seen. Day 1 prediction Awarapans first part had a lifetime of just Rs. 7.76 crores. All trade experts are of the opinion that Awarapan 2 will comfortably beat the lifetime number of Awarapan on the first day itself. Taran Adarsh said, Yes, definitely itll cross Awarapans lifetime on Day 1. I think Awarapan 2 will open in double digits. It has a fan base and people would want to watch what happens next in Shivams life. Vishek Chauhan agreed and added, Awarapan 2 should open at Rs. 10-12 crores. As for Batwara, its first day number would be Rs. 7-8 crores. Both films should collect Rs. 20 crores on the first day. Distributor and exhibitor Raj Bansal predicted, Batwara 1947 should open at Rs. 8 crores or Rs. 8.50 crores. Awarapan 2 should open at Rs. 12.50 crores or Rs. 13 crores. It can even go higher. He also confirmed that Awarapans lifetime collection will be crossed on the day of Awarapan 2s release. Atul Mohan was also of the same opinion about Awarapan 2 surpassing Awarapans lifetime collection on Day 1. Interestingly, Shabana Azmi stars in both Awarapan 2 and Batwara 1947. On this, he joked, Shabana Azmis Day 1 will be huge, combining both the films! When asked whether Batwara 1947 would open in single digits or double digits, Taran Adarsh replied, Its a bit too early to say. Spot bookings can really change the tide. This has happened in the recent past. The mass centres are driven by spot bookings. He continued, Advance booking can never be a barometer. Sunny Deol has a huge fan base in mass pockets. Hence, with the power of spot bookings, the film could jump to an impressive opening number. Atul Mohan exulted, The public now believes in the idea of walk-in. Tickets are already expensive and one needs to pay Rs. 50-60 more per ticket if they book online. Hence, many prefer to buy from the ticket counter before the show.
